Last week, it wasn't too terribly chilly but I was in the mood for some soup and in the mood for something that I hadn't fixed in a while. So a-browsin' I went through my cookbooks. What to cook, what to cook....
Voila! I found one that I hadn't fixed in a while. Geez, maybe last winter?? Cheesy Chicken Chowder. Doesn't it look good?
Well, you can't have soup without a bread of some type, right? So, I whipped up a batch of easy peasy Angel Biscuits to go along with it. Oh, it hit the spot. Yum! Once the hoopla of the holidays were over, I knew I wanted to share it with you.
This soup is really simple and fast to cook...my favorite way of cooking these days. It just takes a few pots to get it done. No big deal, huh? hehehe Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get to cookin', okay?
Cheesy Chicken Chowder
3 cups chicken broth
2 cups diced peeled potatoes
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced onion
1-1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/3 cup flour
2 cups milk
2 cups (8 oz) shredded Cheddar cheese
2 cups diced cooked chicken**
In a 4-quart saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Reduce heat; add potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium saucepan; add flour and mix well. (I usually use the pan that I cooked the chicken in). Gradually stir in milk; cook over low heat until slightly thickened. Stir in cheese and cook until melted; add to broth along with chicken. Cook and stir over low heat until heated through. Yield: 6 to 8 servings.
** I used boneless chicken breasts...so easy to cook and shred.
Note: I usually cut the recipe in half for just me and Mr. Bill. It makes plenty!
If you are new to my blog, I design the recipe so that you can print it out on card stock, cut in half and glue the blank sides back to back to create a recipe type card if you would like.
Right click on the photo below to print out the recipe or save it to your computer to print out later.
I hope you enjoy my soup recipe!
Note: I'm going to a blog party!...
